These two were so sweet. Their ceremony at St John Vianney Catholic Church in Walnut Creek was filled with family and friends. They opted out of doing a first look and chose to wait until the ceremony to see each other for the first time.
I was pleasantly surprised when we found a random field on the way from the church to the reception space to do all of their couples portraits and wedding party photos. I am a sucker for photos in a meadow.
Their backyard reception was VIBES. Andrea was able to use her parent’s backyard to create an elevated guest experience. The pool was surrounded by towering redwoods, circling the guest tables. The bar was transformed into a huge grazing board for guests to pick at while enjoying the live band. At the end of the night, the couple was escorted down the driveway by their wedding guests to a vintage car that took them away!
“Relax, enjoy life and have some wine. Never take one second for granted.”
